Lan's Epiphany
Lan's body was curled into a ball on a stone table in the front yard of their new house.
His eyes were closed as he was slowly undoing the seal that had been cast on his cultivation base.
This seal was made by himself prior to entering the Ghost Realm. In general, no expert would place such a seal on themselves, as it was irreversible on a short-term basis.
Even after leaving the Ghost Realm it would be in effect, and the time he would need to unravel the seal could easily be hundreds of years.
Currently, Lan was not stronger than a high-ranked ghost, and the situation had caused his mentality to shift. While growing up, he had been in a soft and supportive environment, and when he finally learned of the bitterness that accompanied life, he was already so strong that no one could harm him.
